KNOWN DEPENDANCIES
------------------
neko_openssl.sw.lib

ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS
--------------------
Heaps of void pointer arithmetic. Gcc allows this and treats it as char, but MIPSPro doesn't allow it, which seems more logical to me: How can the compiler tell what's behind a void pointer when he's supposed to do arithmetic on it?
I've filed a report and send the patch file to BitchX bugs mailing list, figured they would need this for gcc 3.5.x anyway.
